Why MPBR isn’t as good of an idea as it seems...

Very good points and all taken with open eyes and ears. I really enjoy this topic because I consider myself a student at reloading and shooting. I should have further qualified my initial response by saying that I only hunt and reload 45-70 govt. I zero at 125 and have a personal limit of...

Why MPBR isn’t as good of an idea as it seems...

To the OP: Well said, accurate and I don't dispute anything that was presented. However, I feel that there should be an * to the whole post, and that is... This is one reason why I and many others reload our own ammunition. A well developed round, developed with my rifle, for my rifle according...

Homemade backcountry dehydrated meals

Subscribing as well. I'm Celiac so have to watch the ingredients closely. I have been using Hawk Vittles and have been very happy with the quality and taste however I would love to make my own meals tailored to my personal tastes. Thanks for the recipes.

Headlamp Flashlights

Another ZebraLight user. I carry two H604's. One is a Floody version that is perfect for working a kill after dark as it puts a lot of light over a large area. I find that while using a Floody, I can run the light brighter without eye fatigue since the light is spread over more area.

Ridge wallet/Trayvax/something else?

++1 on the Saddleback. I have their Front Pocket ID wallet as well as several of their other products. Very very high quality.

Ridge wallet/Trayvax/something else?

I've been using a Ridge for quite a while now. Love it. Normal contents are about 5 cards (CC, ID, other licenses) and a bit of cash. Super easy. Cards and cash are always secured tightly. Cards are easy to remove and insert.

The perfect extended hunt pack

No. And I totally see your issue. Frustrating I'm sure to see every feature you require available from Kifaru, just not all in one pack. We all see people vent about wishing this or that from the various manufacturers. I don't think those wishes ever come true exactly like they wanted. On the...

Reloading die help.

Well I have to admit right up front that I'm a little confused by your post. I have read it a few times and do not see where I might be missing anything. So, I will start off with what I feel is the best, most basic straight to the point answer. The dies that you use will have not one effect...

Central Nevada weather?

Just use a weather app to find the max. and min. temps for a town or city close to your hike. Then figure 3-4 degrees per 1000 feet. You'll be in the ballpark. Keep in mind that for the lower half of Nevada we are firmly in our monsoon season. When it rains it rains hard & fast so keep up on the...

Reloading question

I would like to add... Best groups are almost never found at max velocities.

Reloading question

A lot of good answers above. Consistency rules the day. Change only one thing at a time. Shoot from bench rest to eliminate you as a factor. Don't bother playing with bullet seating depth unless you have trimmed your cases to the same length. Primer seating is a big factor and way too often...

What to use as a ground sheet?

Tyvek. I take two pieces up the mountain. One for under the sleeping pad and the other is in my pack. Use for laying meat out, emergency uses, impromptu tarp etc. Cheap, light and you can dye it if you don't like white. Wash it a few times and it gets nice and soft. Buy online at the well known...
